Joss Whedon states in the Season 5 DVD featurette "To Live and Die in L.A.: The Best of Angel", that this episode is one of the best episodes of Season 4 and of the series as a whole. (edit) The song Lorne is singing at the beginning of this episode, "The Way We Were" by Barbara Streisand, is the same song Harmony sings at the karaoke bar in Disharmony (2x17). (edit) If you study the scene in which Liam runs in and yells, "Demons!," if you watch Alexis Denisof and David Boreanaz closely, you see they do not meet eyes in this scene. This is because every time they did, they would burst into laughter, so they had to avoid looking at each other. (edit) This episode received a 3.2/4 in the overnight ratings. (edit) When she examines her body upon realizing she's no longer a teenager, Cordelia comments that she's filled out a lot -- this could be an inside reference to Charisma Carpenter's pregnancy, especially considering that Cordelia was already quite filled out, but much leaner, when we first met her as a Sunnydale sophomore (and she indicates in this episode that she thinks she's a high school sophomore). (edit)

Cordelia: You have no idea how much this is killing me. I know my ABC's, my history. I know who's President, and that I sort of wish I didn't. I know the name of every shoe store in the Beverly Center, but I don't even recognize the sound of my own name. (edit) Angel: I seem to be strong, too, and fast. It's not so bad, this vampire thing.
Cordelia: Well, I've got a super power of my own, hotshot.
Angel: What's that now? (Cordelia screams at the top of her lungs) That really is inhuman. (edit) Wesley: So who are you?
Gunn: I'm the guy that's gonna be kickin' a whole mess o' ass somebody don't tell me what's goin' on.
Cordelia: Whadda they call you for short? (edit) (Angel, not remembering he's Connor's father)
Angel: Say one thing, then..."Be good. Fear God. Do as you're told." And the whole while I know good and well, (my father's) had his share of sinning.
Connor: Sounds kinda like my father.
Angel: Is he a self-righteous bastard?
Connor: You'd be amazed. (edit) Lorne: (Waking up) Oh...Oh...Guys, hey, that was quite a whammy. A little trip through the transitive nightfall of diamonds, if you know what I mean, I certainly don't, but—
Angel: He speaks madness.
Lorne: Hey, here's a funny sidebar. I'm tied to a chair—again! What the hell's going on?
Wesley: We were hoping you would enlighten us, spawn of evil.
Lorne: Oh, dear. I'm starting to suspect my surefire hit spell closed out of town. (whimpers) Did anything go right? Anything? Did Cordy at least get her memory back?
Wesley: Just tell us where the vampire is, fiend.
Lorne: What are you talking about? There aren't any vampires here. Well, I mean, except for our boy here.
Angel: Uh, lying devil man.
Lorne: Oh, like my spell made you not a vampire anymore. My magic isn't that—
Angel: Shut your face!
(punches Lorne, cuts to Lorne narrating)
Lorne: Ow.
(edit)

Cordelia says "Hello salty goodness" when she sees Angel. This is the same phrase she used when she first saw him in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Never Kill a Boy on the First Date (1x05). (edit) When Gunn punches Wesley, the camera cuts to Angel & Fred and it appears that the two actors are trying not to laugh. (edit) While demonstrating her "super power" to Angel (screaming her head off), Cordelia's hair has come loose from its barrette and is hanging down the side of her face. A few moments later Connor saves her, and when she's talking to him afterward, her hair is pulled back again. (edit) Wesley seems pretty ready to send Liam and Cordy off by themselves when in their reverted personas they both just found out vampires exist and have no idea how to kill them. (edit) When Gunn and Wesley are fighting, Angel has his arms crossed, but when it immediately cuts to a close shot of he and Cordelia, his arms are to his side. (edit)

Lorne: Who's we, paleface?

Lorne is alluding a classic joke featuring The Lone Ranger and his faithful companion Tonto. The Lone Ranger and Tonto are surrounded by hostile Indians. The Lone Ranger says to Tonto, "Old friend, we're really in trouble this time." Tonto replies, "What do you mean 'we', paleface?" (edit) Cordelia: Okay, we've heard from Miss Scarlett O'Please-shut-me-up!

This alludes to Scarlett O'Hara, the main character from the famous Civil War era book "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell. (edit) Angel: Minstrels
A minstrel was a European bard who performed lyric poems while playing simple instruments. Occasionaly they would travel in small groups, each with different instruments. This would be the closest thing in Liam's experience to modern music, with a singer backed up by an instrumental band. (edit) Lorne: Those were some exciting products.
In a clever fourth wall moment, Lorne actually refers to the commercials that air between act breaks of the episode. It's almost as if Joss has Lorne admit this is a TV show. Of course on DVD there are no commercials, so the joke makes no sense. (edit) Fred: Slayer? The band?
Fred isn't the first to confuse the Vampire Slayer with the thrash metal band Slayer. The first, of course was Forrest in the Season Four Buffy episode "Doomed." (edit)
